This might be unrelated, but I'm constantly being prompted for captcha even when I'm just viewing and not trying to respond. Can something be done about this?

View on HN

We have captchas on HN?

Might be a cloudflare thing.

It shows up with the HN theme (orange bar at top and beige background) but without other links/text like user info on the right or the footer. I first noticed it the other day when I started using a wired connection at work instead of WiFi.

So it's not even Recaptcha? Sounds interesting.

Yea, its recaptcha. I'll try to get a screenshot the next time it happens.

Yea, looks like its a custom CF page. I got the standard CF captcha screen when going to pastebin. Screenshot and HTML source below.
